Spartans, Tar Heels Commit to Carrier Game

SAN DIEGO - The San Diego Sports Commission has confirmed that Michigan State and North Carolina will play in the Carrier Classic on Veterans Day, the first NCAA basketball game to be played aboard an aircraft carrier.
Who knows... maybe the carrier will be in the Pacific...

Thumbs up
For you newbies, what JR is referring to is an old post of mine about a rule interp. It goes like this. If a game was being played on the deck of an aircraft carrier in the Pacific ocean and a team had the ball in their backcourt when the ship crossed the international date line and it was now yesterday, would they then have 24 hours and 10 seconds to get the ball into frontcourt?

That's some memory you have, JR.

Conversely, if the ship crossed the IDL westward, would the game be over, and would the players have broken curfew?

Question
Wait a minute. If they're going to be in international waters, will they have to play by FEEBLE rules?

The Thrill Of Victory, The Agony Of Defeat ...
Last time I saw a basketball game played on an aircraft carrier, the Harlem Globetrotters beat the Washington Generals, and if I recall correctly, Louis Herman "Red" Klotz was still playing for the Generals. I think that the game was broadcast on ABC's Wide World of Sports, back in the 1960's.

When I saw this thread on the front page, I was wondering if the Fed had ruled that overtime is no longer played.

Does it have anything to do with unfurling a "Mission Accomplished" banner?

Yeah, it was the early 60s and they wanted veteran officials.
